Enuma Elish Lyrics

when the heavens above did not exist
and earth had not come into being
there was Apsu
first in order
their begetter

and demiurge Tiamat
sacred mother, who gave birth to them all
when their waters mingled
Ea was created

Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish

for his children, clamouring loudly
he will destroy them and break up their way of life
Apsu is displeased
silence shall reign, that he may sleep

when Tiamat heard this
she raged and cried out to her spouse
how can we destroy, what we have given birth to?

in his deepest slumber
Ea killed his father

Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish

heavens above did not exist
Enuma Elish
and earth had not come into being
Enuma Elish
there was Ea
Enuma Elish
their begetter
Enuma Elish
